Colt of course as iv said to you before though Sig is awesome as well as RRA. I have several colts as well as a Sig scorpion, and several others. My main carries are dual Colt GCSM that I have done alot of work on.

Leaving Glocks as in u are going to sell them too? Ever considering "multi" platforms instead, by owning all kinds?.

I have smiths and i have glocks and even a bond arms snake charmer which is sick but my carry weapon and range weapon should imo be the same. I am tired of my glock but still love it. Its like the wife or gf you cant stand but she always makes you a great dinner and is there for you lol

That makes sense. I'm a huge fan of Glock BUT open to any other brands or platforms.

my springfield was $640 cash price, the LGS ate the sales tax for a cash purchase.

Your LGS sounds like mine- old school & there to make a deal
Still ain't heard a price range-
Now (after 3 out of 4 gud ones) i'm a RIA fan but i must stay within a budget-
I'd really like to have a "full blown" Springfield-
This is my RIA of choice right now- About $500 invested

I have had my Springfield 1911A1, just a plain Jane, since the 80s, have fired untold amounts of ammo through it, have never replaced a part, and it still shoots very well. The only problem I ever had was from buying cheap magazines. Once I swapped to McCormic mags, it has worked flawlessly. It looks a little long-in-the-tooth from many years of riding in leather, on my hip, in a tropical climate, but then again, I show a bit of wear myself.

I own more than just a few firearms, but this one would be the last to go.

I do not own a RIA myself, but the only people I have ever hear complaining about them, didn't own one either. I have a friend who must own a dozen of them. If I bought another, it would be a RIA.

Are those the original sights? I have a RIA 1911 and I hate the sights! I want 3 dot sights but I think I have the novak ones now? Anyways if there not the original sights did you change them or get someone else to do it?
